Shortly before their second he's on the right wing stood ahead of Bernardo who had the ball, clearly about 5-10 yards offside just hanging around. I'm not saying he prevents it or its in any way his fault but if he's in a normal right back position, maybe he's in a position to recover when they're clean through.

The whole point of walker is his defensive cover, he's the insurance against what happened to us twice tonight. if he's too far up the pitch to offer it whilst also not offering anything from being that far up, what's are we getting out of it?

Theres been games this season where we have pushed walker up the pitch and used him as the free man out wide, but that's been a specific tactic that has its benefits and is completely different to him just wandering.

walker is at his best when he sticks to his role and doesn't try to be anything else, I'm not sure the armband is helping him be at his best.

I think the armband has been the making of him and tbf it is not his fault where pep puts him and dulls his specific talents of recovery and speed

That’s exactly it. I think he’s been playing further forward instead of often being the last man, and it really hasn’t worked out. Walker needs space to build up speed but not that much.
 
Doesn't trust his pace anymore and stays a mile off attackers. Let that cross in far too easily.

I'll say it again-just play Lewis there. We're shocking defensively as it is. At least, he'll give us something when we're in possession.
 
He's been awful this year and isn't showing any signs of improvement.

I wonder if a departure to Bayern would've been preferabl, after all.
